How do you choose the correct adhesive?

It's one thing arriving at a decision to bond rather than use a mechanical fastener on an application, or to use a hybrid where both methods work together. It is quite another to then determine which adhesive to use, says Eurobond Adhesives.

On many projects, the material types to be bonded represent a start point for designers: closely followed by practical and operational considerations. These might include the need for a product to cope with differential thermal expansion, or deal with the presence of moisture. And once issues like these have been sorted out, there follows the need to address production considerations too.

Eurobond Adhesives confirms that its free-of-charge consultancy capabilities have been well maximised to great effect by a variety of customers to date, either via online or COVID secure face-to-face discussions. As a result, the company is encouraging more manufacturers to look into the possiblities offered by bonding by discussing the options with its experts.
